Colossians 3:1-2: If ye then be Risen with Christ, seek those things which are Above where Christ is seated on the Right Hand of God. SET YOUR AFFECTION on things Above, not on things on the earth.
What does it mean? To SET YOUR AFFECTION: To Focus on Spiritual Matters, rather than on earthly desires: To Prioritize – To make Conscious Decisions concerning Heavenly things: Christ is seated at the Right Hand of God The Father in Majesty, Splendor and Glory: John 17: 24: Jesus prayed, Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, that they may behold My Glory, which Thou hast given Me: Thou lovest Me before the Foundation of the World. Set YOUR AFFECTION on being where Jesus is in Glory:
Focus on Him: Desire to be with Him: Make Him your number one Priority: Eternal Life- Eternal Peace- Eternal Joy: Christ in you the Hope of Glory: To Behold Him Face to Face: The Desire you SET YOUR AFFECTION on has come to Fruition: Hallelujah:
While we wait, there is work to do, preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ making Disciples: Luke 2: 49: Even when Jesus was twelve years old, He said, wist not I must be about My Father’s business, we also must be laboring in the Vineyard, bringing others to Christ:
SET YOUR AFFECTION on seeing The Kingdom of Heaven come to earth as it is in Heaven: Righteousness – Peace – Joy- In the hearts of mankind: By repentance of sins: We are given Forgiveness and Cleansing by the Blood of Jesus Christ, who died on The Cross to Save us:
SET YOUR AFFECTION on Cultivating Godly Virtues and Living: Characteristics of Christ: Philippians 4:8: Finally, Brethren, whatsoever things are True, whatsoever things are Honest, whatsoever things are Just, whatsoever things are Pure, whatsoever things are Lovely, whatsoever things are of a Good Report? If there be any Virtue and if there be any Praise, Think on these things. And I Love V9: These things, which you have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, {Do} and The God of Peace shall be with you:
What a Perfect Example the Apostle Paul, who also said, follow me, as I Follow Christ: SET YOUR AFFECTION on Being Holy: God Said, be you Holy, For I Am Holy:
Reading the entire Chapter of Colossians 3: We are dead and our life is hid with Christ in God: When he shall appear, we shall appear with Him in Glory: V:5-11:There are many things to avoid doing: V:12-17: Things to SET YOUR AFFECTION on: Put on therefore as The Elect of God: Holy and Beloved: Bowels of Mercies: Kindness: Humbleness of Mind: Meekness: Longsuffering: Forbearing one another and Forgiving one another : And Above all these things: Put on Charity: DO SET YOUR AFFECTION on things Above and Spiritual: Amen:
